My advice.......... Don't have a lawn... sand works just fine for me....

Then you don't have to worry, about the HS student you hire getting hurt, or paying the outragous amount of money for a pro....

and if it needs to be green, I am sure you can get colored sand.....

Lawn Psyhco, give it a rest... there are inherit risks with everything in life. Personally if I had kid in my neighbor hood that would cut my lawn, I would be more then willing to let him.... as long as there wheren't complications involved like steep grades etc. Ever since I saw that ariticle, my only thought has been that someone is looking for justification.... last I check 17K of 250K was 6% of the people getting hurt from lawn mower where under 19 years of age.... And oh buy the way, what classifies as an injury.... And of those under 19 how many where cutting their parents lawn....

This article does very little to justify hiring a professional......

What it points, out is that something a mondain as mowing the lawn has inherit risk, and when you look across the entire United states with a population over 312 million, you have 250K injuries reported every year, which is less then 1%... how many of those are related to actually mowing the lawn probably even a smaller number... most time lawn more accidents are because people are fooling around.....
